PHILIP H. SERIO, OF ELMIRA, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO NATIONAL ALUMINUM WORKS, 0F ELMIRA, NEW YORK, A. CORPORATION.

METHOD OF FORMING- SPOUTED CONTAINERS.

Patented Apr. 1, 1919.

Application filed November 29, 1916. Serial No. 134,083.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP H. SERIo, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Elmira, in the county of Chemung and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Forming Spouted Containers, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to methods of forming spouted containers, and an obj ect thereof is to provide a method by which a container may be formed from a single piece of sheet material with a bead extending continuously about the container and the spout.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 isa vertical section showing the blank after it has been formed into cup shape;

Fig. 2 is a Vertical section through the cupped container after the bead has been formed about the upper edge;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the blank after the spout has been formed; and

Fig. 4 shows the receptacle in vertical section at right angles to that shown in Fig. 3.

According to this invention, a circular blank of sheet material is pressed in the first instance into cup shape as shown at l in Fig. '1, preferably with the walls vertical.

The upper edge of the cupped container 1 is then rolled or spun to form a bead 2 continuously about the same after which the cupped container is placed in a press and a spout 3 is formed thereon without materially stretching the metal but-by contracting the, upper part of the beaded cup portion, the spout being formed by the surplus material without destroying the bead, thus simultaneously causing the bead at the spout portion to be deflected downwardly with reference to the remaining portion of the bead.

By this invention, it is possible to form.

a spout in one piece with the cup portion of a container without any substantial stretching of the metal, and, at the same time, the spout has a beaded edge which inclines with reference to the beaded portion of the main body of the container.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

The method of forming spouted containers from one piece of sheet material, which consists in forming a cupped container from a flat blank, beading the upper edge of the container, and afterward simultaneously contracting the upper portion of the container and forming a spout from the surplus material without destroying the bead.

PHILIP H. SERIO.
